Summary

A resident petition seeks a no-parking zone on Klamath River Road; the Humane Society has asked to return to the negotiation table and the county will schedule a public workshop with Longview and Kelso present.

County staff updated commissioners on several localized items: a petition from a resident requesting a no-parking zone on Klamath River Road, ongoing inquiries about a Klamath River Road driveway/mailbox obstruction, and a request from the Humane Society to resume negotiations.

Staff said they received a petition from Mr. Benac requesting a no-parking zone; after review, the item will be workshoped with the board (staff did not commit to a specific hearing date during the briefing). The county has also sent a staff member to inspect an obstruction at a driveway reported on Klamath River Road and is gathering postal-service information to determine whether a no-parking zone would restore mail delivery.

Commissioners also reported receiving outreach from the Humane Society (representative Andrea) seeking to restart talks over a previously contentious matter. Commissioners said they were open to letting the Humane Society present in a public meeting but emphasized that Longview and Kelso should attend as well; the county set a tentative workshop arrangement and asked the organization to coordinate with staff.

Ending: Staff will workshop the Mr. Benac petition and return with a recommendation; the Humane Society was asked to coordinate a public meeting that includes neighboring cities.
